The only real purpose for identifying somebody based on gender or sex is only for the purpose of having sex otherwise just treat them like a human being. Then again, that will never happen because people can't fathom living with out stereotypes based on the superficial things so here we are having to compromise with an overly convoluted mess. I blame Boomers.

Indeed, that is pretty much what I mean. We need to have room for the people who don't fit into outdated gender ideas, but the concept of gender is firmly rooted in our culture, so it's more practical to expand the concept of gender than to abolish it
